The food is just as good as I remembered it from eating from the cart in NY! I thought that the small chicken platter looked small when I received it, but I could not finish it so still think that the portions are good! I didn't like that I paid extra for both the white sauce and spicy sauce (in NY you can provide your own helping of each of the sauces). However with COVID precautions I totally understand (creating the packets probably cost money), but wish they had just provided it free of charge with your meal. You really can't forgo either of the sauces so sadly had to pay for both. With the white sauce they give you 2 packets, and the hot sauce they give you 1. With COVID precautions, only 1 customer was allowed in the store at a time, though some customers (esp the ones who are performing delivery) didn't care for these precautions and just entered the store. I didn't like that these customers did that and while I understand they are in a hurry, I don't understand why the store does not enforce the same rules as the delivery couriers. The customers who were waiting in line to place an order on the other hand were respectful. We waited outside only a little bit before placing our order inside, and they were really quick with getting our orders ready. We also tried the drinks and I would say the drinks are really ordinary, and would not get it next time. Overall a good experience, and I'm so happy they opened a location in SLU! I would definitely come back! read more

Clean establishment and signage for COVID. My first time at this location as it's been around for only 3 weeks. I've only been to the Pioneer Square location once, but a lot of times when I lived in CA. Nothing will compare to the og in NY from THG cart, however for it being new I think they're still learning. Friendly staff for sure, but the portions were not normal than what I'm used to. Usually the whole bottom is covered with rice then everything else on top. The rice we had was not cooked all the way through and the chicken is not chopped up into pieces as usual. A little sad about it because I was really excited. Maybe I'll try again in a few months. read more

The Halal Guys - Big chunks of chicken, not chopped up as usual. - Halal Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I ordered the small chicken falafel platter, it's really fresh and delicious and the small is really filling actually! The white sauce is iconic and scrumptious. We ordered online and the food was ready in under 10 min. Great healthy spot for lunch! read more

Went here in Seattle before going to hike Baker. Quick, large portions, great little fast food joint with tasty food.

Stayed near the Space Needle and found this spot a couple blocks from our hotel. Great food at a great price, as well as longer operating hours than most in the area, in an up-and-coming part of town. Careful with that red spicy sauce. It's a must-have but it KICKS! read more

The Halal Guys - Small Chicken & Beef Gyro Platter, just in sight of the Space Needle - Halal Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ordered through door dash during work in South Lake Union and it was quick and delicious. I typically order the falafel salad bowl with extra red spicy sauce. read more

This halal guys location is small and quaint in the SLU area. The service is fast and good. Shop is clean and neat. There is outdoor seating all around the outside. I think in comparison to other locations like the one in New York, the chicken is okay but probably doesn't taste the same as the other places. I'd recommend the gyro here. The sauce is packaged. Solid place to eat but just not as good as the New York location. read more

Unfortunately my food was cold, never had a cold gyro before. But I guess it comes down to preference.

Halal Guys has kicked butt since it first started in NYC. This place is faithful to the recipe. The bowl comes with meat, rice, lettuce, tomatoes, pita, and of course the white sauce. It's comfort food and its consistent. Great for a cold Seattle evening pickup when you're craving it. I recommend skipping using the whole packet of sauce since its pretty hefty in calories. As long as prices stay stable Halal Guys is always a great quick option. read more

Good middle eastern "fast food". Fast service, food tasted good. Food is not exceptional being a fast food place but it's quite solid for a quick lunch. read more

The Halal Guys - Chicken/beef platter - Halal Near Me - Seattle, Washington

TL;DR food is good, put the white sauce on anything and everything, but if you like traditional baba ghanoush, i'd pass on that. i'm mostly reviewing out of pure confusion. i've been going to various halal guy for 6+ years now and have always gotten the falafel sandwich and a side of baba ghanoush. i don't live near a halal anymore so any time i'm in town near one, i get it. that being said, this was my first time at this location. the sandwich was fine, i was bummed that the sauce is in packets and not just on the sandwich, but whatever. the baba ghanoush however is the most baffling thing. halal guys used to have some of my favorite baba ghanoush and trust that's saying a lot because i consume a lot of baba ghanoush. but this time the baba ghanoush was kind of sweet and had red peppers in it???? and doesn't taste like baba ghanoush at all? i am very confused and yeah i haven't had halal guys in a year, but their website says nothing about the changes. read more

Not usually a fan of chain restaurants but Halal Guys is an exception. I have never been disappointed with my order and it hits the spot every time. They don't really have seating at any of their locations, it's more of a grab and go type of place. Their original location was a food cart in NYC back in the 90s. This location is pretty sketchy, parking is a pain. You will have to park at least a block away, walk past a homeless camp, and likely get whistled at... For this reason I like the SLU location place better. I like to order ahead from their website/app so I can get out of there as fast as possible; if you order through Yelp the prices are a little higher. The regular sized platter is huge- you can split it with someone else, especially if you order a side of hummus. Always ask for them to put the pita bread on the side when you order a platter because otherwise it will get soggy in the container. Adding jalapenos is a nice touch because they are pickled. The chicken and beef is always seasoned nicely and the rice has great texture. Their hummus is probably the best I've ever had- very creamy with a nice garlic flavor. Be careful with the red sauce, a little bit goes a long way! And of course the white sauce is amazing and quite addictive. read more

Got the chicken and falafel wrap. Both the red and white sauces were delicious on it. It hit the spot after a long day exploring Seattle. Quick service and pleasant employees. read more

This is my go-to, need food, must arrive in 20 minutes, and fill me up restaurant in Seattle. Whether it's you missed lunch, can't decide on what to make for dinner, or need something to soak up the spirits, their combo platter (with humus) is easy eats that always satisfy. Let's be honest, you're not ordering haute cuisine here and things arrive in an aluminum container with a plastic lid with white sauce packets included. But the meat is flavorful, the ingredients fresh, and the portions are just right (maybe even too much at times). During COVID, their contactless delivery is possibly a perfect meal. I like their delivery guys, too. Nice, polite, and quick as a whistle (even when delivering on their bikes in Seattle rainstorms -- thanks guys!). read more

Whenever I don't know what I want to eat, this is where I usually end up. I find myself craving the chicken platter at least once a week, and although my bf may get sick of it, I know I never will! As much the red sauce hurts, I can never get enough of it. I also like that this location has a variety of fruity lemonades, which I wish the pioneer square location also had. read more

We tried Halal Guys while in New York in 2016 and loved it! While today's wasn't like the first time in New York, it was pretty close and I'd be happy to stop by again in the area. I'm sure I'd be a more frequent visitor if we were working back in office. One party allowed in the store at a time, one direction flow of traffic, easy to order, fresh ingredients, and an overall pleasant experience! Small was the perfect size for me and a large is a good size to share or good to eat on your own if you are feeling extra hungry - like my partner. :) read more

The Halal Guys - Small chicken plate for $8.99 ++ white & hot sauce! Mouth is still on fire... - Halal Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I personally love this location better than the other just because parking is easier and this location feels more safe to pick up food from. I appreciate how the food is always consistently good and service is friendly. My best advice for you is to open your bag up right away if you order fries so the steam does not make your fries soggy. :) read more

I wish Yelp had half stars because I'm a little bit torn when it comes to Halal Guys and would prefer to rate their Seattle location a 3.5. The crux of my issue is this: on one hand I like the food enough to come back occasionally and appreciate halal options in Seattle, and on the other is the fact that I'm from NYC where there are much cheaper and better options. I've also had Halal Guys in NYC, but it was not my go-to halal place. Flavor: I like the hot sauce because it's pretty darn spicy, probably too spicy for most. If you're in the right mood it really hits the spot. Portion: I actually dig the portion sizing. If I'm hungry I can house one down and be pretty satisfied, or eat it over 2 meals. Price: This is really my main gripe- I personally think it's too expensive. My favorite spot in NYC I used to be able to get an even larger portion for $7-8. In fairness I believe they raised their price to $9 later, but let's even say $10- that's still significantly cheaper for even more food. Halal Guys chicken platter is $12+tax. In fairness my perspective is skewed from having lived in NYC. If you're in the mood for halal then by all means. read more

I love the halal guys. They are taste dependable and always the perfect amount for lunch.

Mid. The chicken tastes Poke it was boiled in the rice water. No taste. The rice is fragrant, but it's all aroma, no taste. Diluted version of their NYC stand. Sad AF read more

Only one person allowed. No exceptions. Very strict! They give out sauce packets so can't ask for extra unless you pay. Only one small sauce packet for hot sauce! Ridiculous. It's brand new so it's clean and all but the workers aren't generous with the servings.. food could have been better but that's just asking for a lot. read more

We came when it was open. They have pretty strict protocol for take outs. It is best to order online and then pick it up. However, we were the only ones there and the server was very quick and attentive. No complains. Food is good, no complains. read more

The only Halal Guys I've had is in New York so I was curious to try Halal Guys in another state. Although nowhere as good as NYC, things were pretty solid here. Everything was tasty and cooked well. Prices were solid and they definitely filled any cravings I had for them. The regular combo platter is just a nice simple meal that you can never go wrong with. Portion size is good but I would've liked the food to be a little hotter especially with takeout being so prevalent right now. Overall, can't go wrong with Halal Guys! read more

This has quickly become our go to whenever we're craving Mediterranean and I can not suggest it enough. Everything is fresh and made to order. The seasoning on the meat is so delicious and speaking of the meat it's so tender!! And the white sauce! It's sort of a tzatziki but their own spin. Totally delicious and if I could I'd put it on everything. The drinks too!! There's too many good things to even describe. If you're thinking about visiting, definitely do it! read more

literally the worst halal guys we've ever been to! The gyro was soo hard and chewy.. did not taste like meat. The chicken was alright. Waste of money read more

Love the Halal Cart in NY. These locations flavors are close. I wish they would be willing to grill onions- they have onions and flat top grill but both WA locations have said no- so weird. The sauce is why we go back!! read more

Halal Guys is top tier! Not only is the food fresh, hot, and delicious, the service they provide is next level. I've ordered upwards of 15+ catering orders with them since becoming an event manager, and each and every one of them has been such a fantastic experience. The staff is polite, respectful, and attentive, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a delicious meal or reliable vendor. read more

I don't get the hype. Very basic, even the white sauce was not that flavorful, beef was definitely better than the chicken. Babaganoush was terrible read more

Delicious gyros! The staff is very nice. Not much atmosphere, but very clean. Great location close to the Climate Change Arena taboot!

I have ordered catering for events from The Halal Guys more times than I could count, and I've heard overwhelmingly good things from attendees about both the Halal Trio and individual meals. They're very considerate in accommodating dietary restrictions, and have been very communicative by phone and email. For the couple times we've had issues with an order (largely outside of THG's control), they've been very responsive in resolving things. On top of that, they're pretty inexpensive for the amount of food you get. Would definitely recommend for catering! read more

Skip! Not authentic at all, close to a Taco Bell of "halal" and it's not even that (it's like eating taco toppings)!

Every time I eat here or at the Cali location it's always amazing food!! They def never slack when it comes to asking for extra sauce either!!! Highly recommend read more

The food was tasteless and workers need to improve on customer service. Won't be back here again.

Just tried this for lunch and ordered 2 gyro plates. The meat is sliced way too thin and then overcooked in the warming pan. Felt like I was eating gyro jerky. The rest of the food is normal. I like the sauce packets, more than enough to go around. read more

I'd gone to this chain a handful of times before moving to WA; this was my first time after a couple years. I was pretty disappointed in how little rice was on my plate-- I think the young man preparing my order thought the pita bread would make up for carbs but I was left with a lot of veggies/meat. Apart from that, the taste was pretty good and the baklava was quite decent. read more

On Friday I was craving gyro and opted for halal guys. It was my first time ordering as I have heard really good things about this restaurant. I opted for the combo plate, which comes with 50/50 of chickens, gyro, rice, salad and their famous white sauce. I don't think it was bad but it was just alright. I personally was expecting a lot more, I don't know whether it was this branch specifically but I just think the meat all together could have been seasoned better. Also because of COVID and all the anxiety around it, I suggest that the place should invest in safety stickers to secure the ends of the plates to prevent any possible tampering, especially for people that order online like other places have. read more
